DIY Festive Place Names

I'm hosting Christmas Lunch for the first time this year. We have 8 guests (including ourselves), and I want to make it really special. My mum and dad are coming and they have supported me and Hubby so much over the last year, I want to give them something amazing. I will post my finished Christmas Table layout after the big day. I have made Place Names for the table. I experimented with cutting out Christmas Cards, but settled on cutting out bits of wrapping paper. It depends what designs you have at home!

Then I stuck my little circles onto card and wrote each persons name above.

Once I had cut these out, I simply used blue-tac to attach them to note holders which I already had from my wedding last year.

And here they are:

They look quite cute I think. I am going to put Mini Christmas Stockings at each place filled with a few different varieties of chocolate.

About Me

My name is Hayley and I live in Winchester with my Husband, daughter (10 months), step-daughter (11) and cat (8).Four years ago I moved into my husband's house, which was more like a man cave than a home. Thus began my up-cycling love affair, which has grown from basic envelope cushion covers to redesigning welsh dressers and fire places. Recently my creations have become completely baby orientated and I'm loving this new direction!
